LIGHT-GLOBE PROTECTOR.

Application filed December My invention relates to electric light globes, and has for its object to provide a new and economical protector for the globes which will prevent breaking them When 5 roughly handled, and which may be drawn over and protect any sized globe from twenty-five to one hundred and fifty watts, and may be made in sizes to fit smaller or larger globes.

A further object is to provide an attractive protector which will not obstruct the rays of light to any appreciable extent.

Fig. 1 is a detail view of the protector comprising my invention. I

Fig. 2 shows my device as applied to an electric bulb. v

Fig. 3 is a front end view of the device shown in Fig.1.

These objects I accomplish with the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views, and as described in the specification forming a part of this application and pointed out in the appended claims. a

The device consists of a plurality of spiral coils A, with the ends of each wire fastened together, to form an annular coil band. The several annular coils A are held in spaced 30 apart relation to each other by longitudinally disposed spiral springs B having much smaller convolutions than those of the coils A and withthe convolutions of the springs B passed through the convolutions of the springs A where they pass each other. order that the circumferential enlargement of one of the annular coils A will be limited I provide a wire C which is passed through 7, 1925. Serial No. 73,620.

the annular coil A and its ends fastened 1. A light globe protector consisting of to pieces of fine spring wire formed as coil springs with the ends of the Wire fastened together giving eachcoil spring an annular band form; other pieces of fine spring wire formed as spiral springs, with some of the o convolutions of the spiral springs engaging some of the convolutions of the coil springs to space them apart; and a wire band within the annular coil spring at one end of theprotector. so

2. A light globe protector consisting of a cylindrical resilient member made ofa plurality of spaced apart fine spring wires,

made in the shape of coil springs, with the ends of each coil secured together to form an 5 individual annular coil; other coil springs placed at right angles to thefirst springs and having the convolutions of the last-mentioned coil springs engaging with some of the convolutions of the first-mentioned coil springs to hold them in longitudinal resilient relation to each other.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.
